[April 11, 2008] PulseCore USB 2.0 Peak EMI Reduction IC Gets USB Compliance Tweet (Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) PulseCore Semiconductor announced that its USB 2.0 Peak EMI Reduction IC is the first Spread Spectrum technology to achieve USB compliance. As a result, designers and systems engineers now have the option of using Spread Spectrum clocking to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in USB devices. PulseCore said the patent-pending USB 2.0 Peak EMI Reduction IC (PCS3P73U00A) simplifies EMI reduction while reducing or eliminating the need for expensive metal shielding, ferrite beads, conductive paint, filtering networks and other costly, space-consuming alternatives. "Testing in our labs has shown PulseCore's new USB 2.0 Peak EMI Reduction IC to be an affordable alternative to the measures we've been using to date," said George Chu, EMI team manager at Compal Electronics. "It's great to see a fresh approach to the mission critical problem of EMI and its effect on design performance and delivery." The PCS3P73U00A operates from a 3.3V/2.5V supply and is available in an 8 pin TSSOP, SOIC and TDFN (2x2) COL packages over a commercial temperature range. USB 2.0 Peak EMI Reduction IC samples are available now upon request. PulseCore Semiconductor is a provider of standard and custom high-speed and low-power analog and mixed-signal silicon solutions for EMI reduction, clocking, power management and system monitoring.
